the dark knight rises

In case you’re not tired of that unintelligible voice of Bane’s from The Dark Knight Rises, Funny or Die has put together a hilarious new video. Imagine if Bane were a telemarketer played by Chris Kattan. But wait, you don’t have to imagine it, check out the video.

After watching this short fan-made film about the Nightwing character, I’m sort of wanting to see this film made now. I’ve always liked Nightwing and I believe he fits well in the universe Nolan has created for Batman. Yes, I know, Nolan is done with the franchise, but would anyone truly have issues with someone else picking up the reins?

First thing’s first: This review is spoiler-free. Which means it may be a little short, but that’s okay. In fact, the very best thing I can say is that you should go see The Dark Knight Rises for yourself. It’s equally as good a film as the previous The Dark Knight and in some ways, it may be even better.

As I’m sure everyone is aware of by now, there was a shooting in Aurora, Colorado last night during a midnight screening of The Dark Knight Rises. I just wanted to take this time and this space to say that I am thinking of the victims and families of the victims after this awful crisis.
